PARKERSBURG -- Camp Kootaga Foundation President James Bennon announced the addition of Christopher Burk as the foundation’s director.

As director, Burk will serve as an ambassador for both Camp Kootaga and the foundation. According to Bennon, Burk will work closely with the executive board, volunteers, community organizations, youth-serving organizations, businesses, schools and other partners to expand Camp Kootaga’s programs and strengthen community relationships. He will oversee event coordination, volunteer engagement, communications and outreach, camp development and stewardship, fundraising and grant support and promote the camp as a vibrant and welcoming community resource.

"I'm excited and honored to have this opportunity," said Burk. "While Camp Kootaga has evolved over the years, its spirit remains unchanged. Obtaining the camp was just the first step. The Foundation now has the opportunity to enhance the camp's natural beauty and make it the perfect setting for family reunions, weddings, and other gatherings while still promoting traditional outdoor activities for youth and adults alike."
